Control flow: If clause

Introduction

This action allows to execute a set of subsequent actions according to specific condition(s).

The possible conditions are the same as constraints and are tested in exactly the same way, with logical connectors 'AND' (default one) or 'OR' in case of multiple conditions.

Constraints

MacroDroid Variable/Compare Values

=

Means that the whole content of the string variable has to be equal to the whole set of typed characters.

Compatible with Variables | String, Integer, Decimal, Boolean (Boolean only in the compare values condition/constraints)

!=

Means that the content of the string variable has to be unequal (i.e. different) to the set of typed characters.

Compatible with Variables | String, Integer, Decimal, Boolean (Boolean only in the compare values condition/constraints)

Contains

Compatible with Variables | String

Excludes

The wildcards '*' and '?'

*

'''*''' stands for any number of character (from 0 to any, same as '.*' in Regex).

?

'''?''' is for 1 and only 1 mandatory character (same as '.{1}' in Regex).

• Tick the box Enter regular expression matching if the typed text follows Regex syntax, far more powerful than plain text with or without wildcards (for advanced users).
